Dave Holland Everyone sitting around the meeting table has a secret button when they want the meeting to end they press the button and if everybody presses their button. Then the meeting just ends no discussion.

Guest Insider No stinky smelling food, perfume or people including residents.

Brent Williams We are a remote team, and while I think everybody likes the flexibility that comes with that, it would be pretty great if every so often we would magically be in the same office so we could work together! I happen to really like the people I work with, so that sounds awesome to me.

Guest Insider Although I work from home now, my office rule would be “don’t knock on the glass door until we are open for business”

Karen Mattis A required siesta…

Michelle Sykes Just show up to work on time ready to work. Is that 2 rules?

Carletta Richardson-Cheeseboro For every smoke break an employee takes….. those that don’t smoke get to step out and take a non-smoke break.

Guest Insider Bring your pet to work everyday!!!

Guest Insider Mandatory get out,walk, get your vitamins d, smell the fresh air for 15 mins a day

Guest Insider Revisit what you should have learned in kindergarten… “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.”

Guest Insider Everyone gets a PTO day for their birthday. And for the community, residents get brownie points/demerits based on how they interact with the office

Allie Gartside Office Rule - team morning property walk with coffee/tea. This way everyone is on the same page. This task doesn’t get dumped on anyone person. And any issues can be addressed at the start of the day. Then we’re also not thrown into emails, meetings and phones. It’s almost like to ease you into the day.
Property walks SHOULD be done everyday. Not enough managers get out of their chair and actually walk the property. I’ve had to beg managers before to come and even look at our vacants. So to have that, and it be respected by upper management and owners. It would be nice.

Perk for residents or even just a perk for staff - onsite childcare/before or afterschool care. Make it discounted as even more of an incentive to rent there. I’m also sure some parents would pay more for the convenience itself but as a parent I recognize how out of control childcare costs are. I’d rather help than hinder.

Plus as a parent, do you know how much easier that would be to walk from your unit to the onsite childcare? Or to leave your home and go to work and not have to make stop on the way or out of the way.
For the employee, no excuse they can’t come in because they don’t have childcare. Employees can see their children on their breaks, so more work/life balance for the employee.
Then it also gives the property more a sense of community. You’re meeting your neighbors, your kids know their neighbors. Then they’ll probably go to the same school and have a friend. Then additional income for the property owners as well.

I also think it would be cool for those properties that have kitchens and club houses to do a food pantry with unopened, not expired, non perishable goods. That way any families in need going through a hard time, wouldn’t have to worry about food or feeding their families. I thought of this during Covid when we had so many families struggling to even pay rent.
But the childcare and food pantry on site is like my dream if I ever have a property of my own that I own and manage. Show more

Valerie Sargent I already implemented my favorite rule when working at home: Yoga pants as required office attire! LOL

Joei Lemacks Zen in Ten...everyday in the afternoon everyone turns off the phones, turns off the lights, shuts their doors and just does nothing but breathe for ten minutes. They can meditate, nap or just relax and enjoy the moment. Zen in Ten

Melinda Sharp Every employee is given a Door Dash account and money is put on it every month by Ownership/Management. It might encourage people to actually have a lunch break …. Or allow the person to have his dinner provided after work.

Guest Insider Bring your dog to work!

Guest Insider You can speak “real” to any 1 resident, once a day. If you don’t use it, it rolls over

Guest Insider Cart rentals for the residents in midrise or single level communities. Like shopping carts or the valet type carts from hotels. The carts are too expensive for properties to afford, but if they had a stand where they could rent one for 15 minutes from a third party vendor then it would solve a need.

Guest Insider Residents become muted after 10 seconds of complaining about things we can't control.

Guest Insider No lockouts.
